Govt Issues Statement on Sir William Birch

  • Rt Hon Christopher Luxon

Sir William Birch was a giant of the National Party and delivered more for our country than he would ever take credit for.

His close to 30 years in Parliament coincided with a period of significant reform as we modernised our economy and grappled with who we are as a country. Throughout, Sir William maintained his legendary diligence and work ethic, knowing that the sacrifices of public life were worth it to leave a better country for future generations.

On behalf of the Government and the National Party, I express my deepest condolences to his family and thank them for sharing him with all of us for so many years.
